Manchester & NHS waits

Your local ADHD assessment options in Manchester

In Greater Manchester, the NHS Right to Choose route for ADHD assessment has effectively stalled. Clinical Partners, a major Right to Choose provider, has confirmed it reached the end of the appointments funded by Greater Manchester ICB for this financial year, and cannot offer new NHS booking dates until further funding is agreed. Referrals remain open, but people are being added to a waiting list with no confirmed date. On the standard NHS pathway, waits commonly run to several years. For many people in Manchester, a private assessment is now the realistic route to being seen sooner.

  • Named clinical reviewer. Our clinical content is reviewed by a Consultant Psychiatrist on the GMC Specialist Register — not anonymous.
  • MDT support and supervision. Matched clinics work to recognised UK quality standards (such as UKAAN/CAAQAS), with multidisciplinary input and clinical supervision.
  • NICE-compliant, GP-ready reports. Assessments produce a thorough, NICE-compliant report designed to be GP-ready. Whether a GP offers shared care is at their discretion — we never guarantee acceptance, and we would be wary of anyone who does.
Good questions

Private ADHD assessment in Manchester: FAQ

Where are the ADHD clinics in Manchester?
ThinkBetter matches you with CQC-registered clinics in and around Greater Manchester for a private ADHD assessment. You choose the clinician, format and appointment time; the free screening comes first so you can decide whether a full assessment is worthwhile.
How much is a private ADHD assessment in Manchester?
Private ADHD assessments typically range from around £500 to £2,500 depending on the clinic and what is included. ThinkBetter shows indicative pricing from your matched clinic up front, so there are no surprises before you book.
Do I need a GP referral to be assessed in Manchester?
No referral is needed to start. Take the free screening first; if a full assessment looks worthwhile we match you with a CQC-registered clinic that can assess you privately without a GP referral.
Will my GP accept a private ADHD diagnosis?
Matched clinics produce thorough, NICE-compliant, GP-ready reports. Whether a GP offers shared care is at their discretion and never guaranteed — our quality-governance approach exists so reports stand up when a GP reviews them.
How quickly can I be assessed?
Many matched clinics offer first appointments within weeks rather than the years common on NHS waiting lists. The free screening takes about five minutes, and your clinic confirms assessment timings before you book.
